Hi all,

I bought my MacBook pro 1 week ago with the old config. Could I ask them to replace a new Macbook pro with Core 2 😡 😡 ?

I don't know where you live, but if you live in the EU, then you have two weeks to change your mind (counting from the day you receive the goods) on online purchases. Don't open the box, and tell them that on second thought you weren't interested.

I bought in New York apple store USA.
 
My friend just purchased the old rev, less then a week ago, but he has definitely opened it. You guys think it would be possible for him to return it for the newer one?

Maybe it's already been upgraded? 😕
 
I wonder if cut the Serial Number to send it for the Ipod discount mail-in-rebate would be consider as a damage to the "original envelope" or is posible to send it and get the new one.
 
As far as I know, any BTO Macs cant be returned. Your best best is to try listing it on ebay and see what you get for it.

You can definitely return it within two weeks of receiving it, whether or not it's BTO, but call them and ask. It might already be upgraded, as they usually don't ship older products after newer ones have been announced.

Edit: UK return policy here
 
Apple give me 2 options for my 1 week old MacBook Pro.

1. Pay them $220 restock fee, return the MacBook Pro
2. They refund me $600, I keep MacBook Pro.

I chose return it. And surprisingly New York 5 Ave Apple store still does not have the new MacBook Pro in stock.

WOWwwww 600$$!!!no bad 😉
 
It's not surprising that they are not in the stores yet. Apple says 1 week on shipping and stores don't get them any sooner.

Yes, amazing. I would have taken the $600

Me three!! The advantages of the C2D vs. $600, take the money and sell the MBP next year and then upgrade, the CD MBP will still be worth good money and you will pocket $600. No brainer.
